Microbial characterization of yeast isolates recovered from blood of patient admitted in ICU in a tertiary care hospital

Fungal bloodstream infections (BSIs) are severe diseases that lengthen hospital stay, have elevated morbidity and mortality and increase medical care costs. Their incidence has recently increased, likely due to an increase in the number of susceptible hosts. The main aim of this study to characterization of candida isolated from blood from patient admitted in ICU. Our Objectives was to speciate candida isolated from the clinical sample & to do susceptibility testing of candida isolates using VITEK 2. The present study Prospective non-randomized, observational study was conduct in Department of Microbiology, medical college & hospital in Central India for a period of 1 year (April 01, 2016 – March 31, 2017).
